Maneater is an open world single player Action RPG, developed by Blindside Studios, which is led by Alex Quick, developer of Depth and original Killing Floor mod creator, who also collaborated with Tripwire on Killing Floor 1 and 2. Set in the unforgiving waters of the southern US Gulf Coast, players will fight to survive in rivers and streams as well as the open ocean, with danger lurking at every depth. Their only tools are their wits, their jaws, and an uncanny ability to evolve as they feed. Anything and everything is on the menu... kill or be killed. In this tale of revenge, players can take on the role of an ever-evolving shark and terrorize the coastal waterways, tearing swimmers and divers limb from limb, giving the humans a reason to fear what lies below. Immersed in a living, breathing world full of threats and rewards, players will have a vast world to explore sunken wrecks, lurk in swamps, or cruise the open ocean looking for their next unsuspecting meal. As your shark evolves customize your maneater to fit YOUR play style. Eat, Grow, Evolve.

This looks kind of cool. Promising.

 

[Kadayi]

LOL, not what I was expecting, but pretty funky. Not for me sadly (my fear of sharks is substantive)

 

[xviper]

i'm tired of open world games, but that looks fun

 

[J-Roderton]

Sharks? Damn this looks cool.

Yeah, it was a licensed game in the "Jaws"-Franchise and it was awesome... this here really looks like a current gen remake and I hope it will be es fun as the original one.

Man, I wish there’s a Maneater game where I can play as a seductive cougar going from bar to bar, seducing attractive young men. Oh, one can dream

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Looks fun in short spurts. Seems repetitive.

Do they have an alternate mode? Shark hunters? Grab a boat, guns and harpoons and chase them down.

And yet here you are posting in an old ass thread instead of making a new one. Walk the walk, Mista.

Looking forward to this game. Not sure how much time I'll get out of it but hopefully they'll surprise us.

Maneater | Interview with John Gibson of Tripwire Interactive

Shark game ooh-ha-ha!

[TwiztidElf]

The big question is whether to wait for the Switch version?

 

[Cycom]

I saw the title and immediately thought it was a game about one the demon’s souls bosses. Sorta kidding but sorta not, that’s how invested I’ve become in soulsborne over the years.

 

[Camreezie]

Is this a full release? Looks like a ps plus game

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Full ham in this game, yes lean into it. Imma play this one with my son for a laugh.

 

[Urprobablyright]

Feeling sorry for anyone who has witnessed a shark attack just now i dunno it doesn't look like much, i won't devote any resources to it beyond these words~

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[HellforLeather]

I really like the premise but the gameplay looks janky as fuck. The camera moves around so fast and the animation is so bad its hard to tell what the fuck is going on.

Also, I watched some gameplay earlier where a player kept turning in a loop to attack a fish that was also turning in a loop that basically lead to a stalemate lol.

[GymWolf]

So hyped for this

 

[Stitch]

ohh this is singleplayer. I thought it was multiplayer only for some reason.

 

[EverydayBeast]

If you told me this was GTA

I would believe you

 

[Valonquar]

Gimmick game made just for streamers to have content to create.

 

[SleepDoctor]

Official Launch Trailer

Didn't know this was coming so soon. May give it a try. Looks like mindless fun, which is what most games are lacking lately. They're all trying to take themselves so seriously. Its like they forget why most of us started playing games to begin with.

Be warned, Maneater does not go in for subtleties, but it does so with off-beat humor and a certain sense of fun. Despite that, it's hard not to find the way the game is built redundant, as half way into the main story, we've always been doing the sa

Be warned, Maneater does not go in for subtleties, but it does so with off-beat humor and a certain sense of fun. Despite that, it's hard not to find the way the game is built redundant, as half way into the main story, we've always been doing the same things. It may change in the second part of...

[obin_gam]

... I think the eventual "Man Eater 2 Eat Manlier" will be a better and deeper game. Even if its suppose to be it to some extent I feel this is a bit too arcady, despite having XP and upgrades. I wanted something more character driven (which feels really weird typing about a shark game, but there you have it.......)

[Gamernyc78]

My son bought it and loves it. Imo I'd get tired of the meta fast but it has some cool things to it from what I see.
